Veronica: Time for Monday, guys! New incentive is up as well as this page! The Molly arc finishes on the 24th! So we are getting there soon! You guys are doing a fantastic job! Exclamation points! Wow!

In other news OH PAULO. You are a beacon of confusion. Riddled with annoying mixed-message will-they-won’t-they girlfriends. At least there is one girl who still cares about your feelings no matter how much you screw up.. or rather two!

Aww… Now I feel sorry for him. I don’t think he deserves all that.

I mean, fair enough, he did have a close relationship with Tess, and he did act like he and Lucy could have a chance as a couple, and both of them probably feel cheated on and misleaded because he’s pursuing someone else, and he’s not really pursuing Rachel because he loves her, and he did do something incredibly stupid with Jess, and he is being a hypocrite right now. But still… Both Lucy and Tess have been pushing him away, and them glaring at him like that looks like it could break even the strongest. I know he’s been a douche, but I can’t help feeling sorry for him.

Ah, well. Perhaps I’m just in love with Paulo. ^_^

So, it begs the question, who else knows about this? Daisy and David seem to be oblivious about it. I think Abbey doesn’t know as well, he just generally dislikes Paulo which is why he’s scowling. Mike’s probably being an emo kid somewhere, oblivious as well.

Is Tess even mad at Paulo because she knows that he has been hitting on both Jess and Rach? Or is she just mad because Lucy seems to be a lot angrier towards Paulo? I mean, Lucy isn’t really the one to talk about these kinds of things with her friends. Or maybe Jess was spreading it all about the school? But I’d doubt Tess would fall for gossip that quickly though.
